XMLWordPrintable

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Add the following arrows in a Confluence page:

        → ↔ ←

      2. Export the page to PDF. It'll display or print nothing no-arrows.pdf
      Workaround

      Install the supported font to Confluence as described here. Tested with DejaVuSans.ttf of DejaVu fonts that works just fine, as a result arrows.pdf

      Findings
      • Exporting the page to Word is not an issue. It only affects exporting to PDF.
      • This bug could affect some other symbols too. There is a good list of symbols here that can be rendered properly using DejaVu fonts.
      • Non-latin characters are affected too here. Such as Turkish.
